“So I went back to sleep, what else could I do, tried to find my way back into that dream so I could be close to you” I felt that whole verse in my soul. And a concert featuring him and Tyler childers was one of the last memories I had with that beautiful soul.
This song hits me like a ton of bricks. I've been hanging on to a dream l lost almost 10 years ago. It's got better though since I quit drinking. We don't ever have to forget but we do have to move on, to get better.
Oh my God , I feel the same fucking way! I lost everything and everyone in my life to alcohol . For the last ten or so years Ive been silently feeling sorry for myself and day dreaming on some miracle of instant wealth or wit that could redeem me in the eyes of the people i love. I quit drinking 5 years ago but now im old, and everything i loved is either dead or moved on without me. So this is Christmas . Have a.happy new year. I was born in the year of the Rabbit. This year was year of the Rabbit. Fuck the Rabbit . Hope is a false idea presented to pesimistic prisoners in a concentration camp by optimistic prisioners in the same concentration camp. We are all gonna die someday, some of us are going to die making others smile or hopefully laugh first. Thank you
What an amazing song, I'm literally in tears but it's because I can relate so much to this song in more than one way. My ex-husband and the father of our 2 children passed suddenly in his sleep at the young age of 38. We were no longer married at the time of his passing but for 16 years we were best friends together and apart. My current husband and I are having some rough times now and are nearing separation but often I dream of the days when we were much happier together. I also dream of my kids father and in those dreams he's alright. Arlo is an amazing artist and this song truly is amazing!!
I'm so sorry. You touched my heart today. My daughters father and I are no longer a couple but he is my absolute best friend ever. He was diagnosed w congestive heart failure about 5 yrs ago. My daughters only 12. Hes only 44. I will soon know your pain and I dont know how to do it. Cmfeo. Sending you love from southern Missouri.
I can so relate to your dong and listrned to it for about 4hrs straight with my headset on as I lay crying my eyes out all alone in the dark. Just had a bad breakup after our two kids and long memories together. Thank you so much.
Saw Arlo a few months ago. I knew there were two songs i would not be able to make it through without crying. He played neither of them. Still cried. 11/10 Will cry again.
I felt like this about a few of em, then I realized all those emotions came from me and were never reciprocated. The 'love' was projected from a beautiful soul onto a hollow emotional vampire pretending to care and doing their best at mirroring my genuine affection. They never deserved it.
I know exactly where you are coming from , I had a 26 year relationship die and it tore my heart out , but I found a angel that has eased my pain and introduced me to Arlo McKinley I'm a fan for life . I'm a 48 year old man and arlo can make me cry like a child but it helps me and the woman I've found is prayers answered
Arlo has been another one of those artists that have found their way into a higher rotation at my house and in my headphones when I am riding my longboard /skateboard or walking the dog. This is song is the exact reason. He certainly has a rather charming vibe. Maybe it is just nostalgia.
Really love how songs like this can be taken in so many different extremes and relatable aspects of thousands of different individuals' lives. Arlo is the real Mcdeal forsure.
Seeing Arlo this weekend for the umpteenth time, always a damn good show. The band and Arlo are firing on all cylinders right now and big things are coming.
Brother.... this music you're making.... it hits me where I haven't been hit in a long time... right in the memories of my divorce, and the troubles of my current marriage. Your songs make me see I'm not the only man out there struggling to make someone happy, that cannot be made to do anything they dont want to do... do you feel me? Brother... keep up the good work. God Bless you man.
Before/Epiphany/Now I don't really like or listen to country music/found GemsOnVHS and realized i didn't really know what real country music is/Listens to Arlo McKinley and Tyler Childers and The Hill Country Devil all day Thanks GemsOnVHS
I Love everything you release Arlo and GemsonVHS never disappoints either! Please neither of you stop doing what you're doing anytime soon. I was the 8th viewer but tried to be the first lol
love this song it brings up so many memories of road trips with ex boz and freinds wether by car or on bike yeah back then we were all right wee haw oh and no helmet laws back in those days thank u keep writing and playing you got a new fan
Wish it was as simple as a dream. Thank you Arlo. Looking forward to the new album and have enjoyed every bit of your music thus far. Thanks for a euphoric Birmingham show. Would’ve done anything to make the NYE 2021 show.
Wow. This song blow me away. It's such a beautiful played song. And when he sings. You can see it coming from his Heart. More music should be like this. Thank you for this song.
Fuck me, sometimes I wonder if I'm the only person in this whole country who knows about GemsOnVHS. Glad to see I'm not, I'm from Southern Ont as well. Big ups to you bro.
Maybe I’ll get a little brave when I’m drunk to send this song but damn am I gonna enjoy this now! That last verse got me and brother you have a new fan. Keep up the good work!

“So I went back to sleep, what else could I do, tried to find my way back into that dream so I could be close to you” I felt that whole verse in my soul. And a concert featuring him and Tyler childers was one of the last memories I had with that beautiful soul.
I feel your pain brother
And the T-shirts read “Arlo made me cry”…. This comment made me cry. Hope you are well.
Therapist: "arlo mckinley cant hurt you, it's just music"
Arlo: hold my beer
This is funny af. But true 😂
Felt that. Gonna take years to process these feels.
It's almost all of his songs. Eeesh
Oof
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Wow…There is still good music being made,you just have to find it cuz it’s not on the radio
Beautiful to hear music that makes you feel alive. So rare
Seeing Arlo and Tyler Childers in Oak Hill tonight 😎
Saw Tyler 6 months ago in Toronto!
You lucky bastard! ;)
Got to record Arlo again at MMF :)
I was at that show!
I was at that show! Arlo was incredible!
This song hits me like a ton of bricks. I've been hanging on to a dream l lost almost 10 years ago. It's got better though since I quit drinking. We don't ever have to forget but we do have to move on, to get better.
Hope you're doing well man. It's hard to let dreams go but sadly part of life

I stopped the world around me to hear you sing this song
Stopping the world..... hellyeah !!
I don’t know what we all did to deserve Arlo McKinley.
Listening again tonight I always come back to here
Wish I could hear this kind of song on the radio!
Why you heard it here! Be grateful
I quit listening to radio years ago.
No you don’t

We need more Arlo
These days as a Texan I'm taking some major notice of the songwriters coming out of Kentucky!
I've told many people that Arlo could make a damn rock cry. I've even told Arlo himself. Super nice guy.
Saw Arlo a few months ago. I knew there were two songs i would not be able to make it through without crying. He played neither of them. Still cried. 11/10 Will cry again.
What were those two songs?
God, this guy has some great songs
I felt like this about a few of em, then I realized all those emotions came from me and were never reciprocated. The 'love' was projected from a beautiful soul onto a hollow emotional vampire pretending to care and doing their best at mirroring my genuine affection. They never deserved it.
Yeah, I think that's happened to all of us with sensitive and sincere hearts. Don't ever feel bad about genuinely loving and caring about someone.
Narcissist sociopaths psychopaths etc walking around in human form feeding off of us .
It's left me Jaded, Trusting gives me anxiety now.
